Many people know The 36 Stratagems as tactics to win in war and daily life.

 

What exactly is winning? Is it about winning over your opponent? Or winning yourself? Or achieving your goals and aspirations?

To the Chinese, winning is about one and only thing: Flexibility. That's right, if you are flexible enough, eventually you will get what you want and want what you get. If you are flexible enough, you will be able to handle every situation that comes along.  The Chinese is the only civilisation in the world to have unbroken existence for more than 5,000 years.  Their rich culture and deep understanding of the world has won many praises from all over the world.  Many attribute Chinese wisdom to one word: flexibility.

The 36 Stratagems is not just a collection of Chinese Wisdom. In fact, this book just about one thing: Change. Change is the name of the game in The 36 Stratagems.

One can be flexible and change his tactics but there is one thing that one cannot change: his Dao or Moral. This stated very clearly in the preface of this book:
·      六六三十六, 数中有术, 术中有数,
·      The 36 stratagems have many different permutations.
·      阴阳燮理,机在其中,机不可设,设而不中
·      Because of nature's ever-changing nature, one cannot set things up to trap people.

In short, one cannot be cunning. This is the wisdom from the 36 stratagems.

If The 36 Stratagems is not about being crafty and trap people, what is it about? What's the benefit of knowing them?

To me, knowing The 36 Stratagems will help one to be flexible and change with the situation, and that is the greatest intelligence of all.

What an Executive Coach and Business Coach Does

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
